dark brown color,small tan head that faded slowly leaving a bit of a lace behind.The aroma was malty and roasty with a bit of a hop showing but it’s hard to say for sure.Decent roasty taste with a bit of caoffee and maybe chocolate coming through as well as a hint of hops towards the end.Not bad but not at all what i was expecting from the brew at all.

22 oz bottle pours a dark reddish brown almost black with a small light brown head that doesn’t last long, not much lacing either. Chocolate and coffee aromas, chocolate, caramel, raisin, cherry-plum flavors. Medium bodied with a smooth kind of watery mouthfeel, light carbonation, finishes sweet, alcohol well hidden.

proof porter is kosher. Nu? Isn’t it a stout with some extra yeastiness in the aroma. Quite roasty with a sour Baltic porter finish. Very black, very roasty. Coffee, hops, refreshing, but also syrupy sweet and awkward conglomeration of ingredients.

Black with brown head, think malty with a hoppy taste reminicent of every single microbrewed ale. It tastes like a bottled black and tan. Although it has some short fallings, it’s still a rich, complex brew, that is warming, and pleasing.

Black with a small brown head. Kinda stinky; thick malty aroma, and not a really pleasant one. Taste is thick, rich, and malty. No aftertaste... no really tastes at all, it’s just... there. Oily in the mouth. Not bad, not great.

Dark brown, almost black, with a small tan head. The nose was faint, malty, roasty, some hops, a little anise. Well carbonated and medium body. A little on the watery side but not so much. Flavor was ho-hum. Nothing noteworthy. HeBrew has good gimmicks and entertaining blurbs on the bottles but should devote more time to brewing good beer.

Dark ruby-brown with a big beige head. Hoppy aroma with some malt backing. Cocoa flavors with some spicey hops. Well balanced and easy to drink with lingering cocoa and malt.

This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of fine to large sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind a carbonated nearly opaques dark ruby red brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was nice with brown caramel malt notes. The mouth feel was tingly and mildly vinous that soon faded into its finish leaving a nice dark malt aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of dark and roasted brown malts.
